The CDC is aware of a single case report of a possible reinfection with monkeypox, but the agency expects that to be a rare scenario, Petersen noted.

"What we don't know is with this new outbreak, and the new epidemiology and route of transmission, whether that may impact some of what was previously seen with monkeypox and other related viruses, like smallpox. So, I think there's still more to learn there," he added.
